Wilbur Wilde
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wilbur Wilde (born Nicholas 'Nick' Aitken on 5 October 1955) is an Australian saxophonist. He rose to prominence with the bands Ol'55, Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons, Klapa Maslina and the Skyhooks. He is most famous for appearing as part of the house band on Hey Hey It's Saturday, alongside Red Symons. He also starred in the 2002 film, Trojan Warrior. Wilde is a supporter of the Melbourne Football Club in the Australian Football League.
In 2006 Wilde appeared on Celebrity Temptation and commercials for the Australian Pensioners Insurance Agency as well as a recently aired commercial for Karlovačka pivovara in Croatia. Also in mid-2006, Wilbur joined Vega 915 as the drive announcer from 3pm until 6pm.
One of Wilbur's great interests is knitting entire outfits out of discarded human hair. From his most prolific period, between 1991 and 1994 he produced 8 coats, a waistcoat, 3 pairs of trousers and a hat which was bizarrely made out of nothing but back hair.
